Origin
Erika Bläss overcame the tragedies of her childhood behind the Iron Curtain to become a successful psychiatrist in the United States. But it wasn't enough. She wasn't rich enough, her patients weren't happy enough. Turning first to New Age quackery and then to full-on occultism, she pursued and acquired her means to both: The Amulet of Laeticia, the ancient Roman goddess of joy and delight. Besides protecting her from all harm, it allows her to induce a state of sheer ecstatic bliss in all around her, rendering them incapable of interfering while she collects her "fee" from nearby jewelry cases, bank vaults, and the occasional high-end auto dealership. After all, she deserves to be happy too.

Thanks for the kind words, folks. This was one of those characters that I don't think could have happened without random character generation.

I'm hoping to get back on the ICONS horse this year, both in terms of creating characters and maybe running it as well (at the moment, I'm kind of regretting not signing up to run it at Owlcon instead of Feng Shui).
